Yoast offers a new block for Estimated Reading Time.
Decided to include in an article.
The homepage Flex Blocks excerpt displays the text “icon placeholder image”
Not sure of workaround yet other than not using Estimated Reading Time block.

Hello,
For what you want you can add Big Grid Flex 1, put it in two columns and delete the value from “modules gap” it looks like this => https://www.screencast.com/t/7J6VmXbjdQf, you can apply on the block filters to show certain categories. For each Big Grid Flex 1, you can set a filter that will apply for modules. If you want to display a different category in each module, you need to set one module in each big grid flex and set the category you want to display (you can copy-paste and change only the filter).
Thank you!
Hi, Calin!
I can’t use the Flex Block 1, for that to me accomplish the same design I’d have to put a lot o CSS fixes, and it would be a worse solution for my problem… I am bound to use the Flex Block 2, which doesn’t have the property to fix width and height.
I’ll wait and hope for the next update then…
And yes, 0.007 is not a lot, but is something, and if you add 0.007 here, 0.007 there, 0.01 somewhere else, it gives you a lot.
Right now, my CLS on mobile is 0.377 and and my CLS on desktop is 0.007. The desktop one is fine (not perfect) but the mobile is terrible..
Hi,
What you can try for the problem from that block is to use an flex element that has option for width and height and set some fix size normally this should improved the situation -> https://i.imgur.com/l6xP5pd.png also I do not think that 0.007 CLS from menu has a big impact, but I’m agree that is better if it can be remove.
Hope that the coming theme update to solved as many CLS problems.
Thank you!
Hi,
If I understand correctly you want to display some more posts from the same topic/category, this can be done by using the filter tab from flex elements https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Hope this will help you to achieve what you need.
Thank you!
Hi Tagdiv,
I would like to use https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_gadgets_pro/big-grid-flex-18-gadgets-pro/? for desktop view but for the mobile layout, I would need it to be one big featured image, followed by 2 small images on the 2nd row, and 2 small images on the 3rd row.
I tried looking for it but it seems that most of the blocks for the mobile view is using a scrolling type of layout for the 2nd row.
Please kindly recommend me a suitable block or let me know how I am able to do that using CSS?
Thank you,
Jasmine
Hello!
Please try to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Also, you can use another Flex Block and select another image sizes which is suitable for your needs.
Thank you!
Hello,
If I understood correctly you want to put the category and title to the bottom, for that you can do it from the Layout of Big Grid Flex => https://www.screencast.com/t/msKNscRC
Hope this helps you!
Thank you!
Hello,
Please first verify this element(Flex Block 1) with TagDiv Composer plugin and check if the article image size is correct or not, then set it correctly.
If the article image size is correct and also you didn’t solve the issue, then you can upload again the images in full size and set it again.
If the problem persists, please provide a link to your website and some screenshots.
Let me know about your results!
Thank you!
Hi there, i run into problems displaying only “wanted” categories into a Flex Block.
It makes no difference if I create new categories and attach article to them or use some categories which are included within a prebuild website.
For Example on the GOSIP Theme, under Filters (within a Flex Block” – The block only show posts if I use “All categories”.
I’ve read under the comment section on themeforest that some more users have this problem. How to fix?
Hello
I don’t see the option to put a numbered pagination (standard pagination), is there any way to do it?
In case this block does not support numbered pagination, is there any similar block that supports numbered pagination?

Hello,
Unfortunately, for the moment the settings from the theme panel do not cover the flex elements and cloud templates, but you can use the website manager to see if you have set different fonts on-page or cloud template https://www.screencast.com/t/Yf961QuIqvr also is possible that incoming update to add more options, unfortunately, I do not know if this will be one of theme or not.

Hello, I’ve added the code for an adsense square ad (responsive) to the inline ad setup. Ad position in content is middle, under advance usage it’s set to adsense size auto for all values.
However, neither on desktop or mobile, I’m actually getting displayed a square ad, but on mobile I see the 320×50 format, similar on desktop. Does the theme conflict with adsense’s space/size detection somehow? How can I solve this while keeping some flexibility for the ad size, so without setting a fixed size under adsense size for a device type?
Hi Team,
Is there a way to add a widget sidebar below a Flex Block 5? I can only add the widget manually when 1 post to display only. We also wanted to add the widget sidebar by default so when using a Load More pagination, the result will also display the widget sidebar. please see this page example. https://www.splashmagazine.ru/category/interview/
Hello!
You can add an element with TagDiv Composer plugin called “Flex block” and you can filter the posts by writing there the ID of the category which you want to include and you can write -ID for the one you want to exclude.
Please check this screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/UbXegeIBXEg
Hope that helps you!
Thank you!
Hello @ratneshkumar684!
This feature was not implemented down there because “Posts Loop” and “Flex Block” have different purposes.
Thank you for your understanding!
Anamaria
Thanks. This works…
But, the Big Grid Flex 10 – the width increases, and the images are stretched out.
Height is set yo Auto.
Height is not proportionately increasing.
Please check here: https://prnt.sc/xrb040
Any Setting to change for this?
Thank you
Update:
i solved the problem with woff2 fonts. They are now perfectly loaded.
I can’t set a local font for a post block.
If I have the post block called “Flex Block 1” which “general font” should I change in the “Theme panel”? And which “module” do I have to change to just change the title of “Flex Block 1”?
I set all fonts as “default” to “Flex Block 1”, and changed the default font to “Module 1” in “Modules and block – article title”.
Thanks

I am using td_flex_block_1 and the default behavior of the “Read More” button is set to target=_self. This causes further reading of the document to be opened in the same window. How/where can I change it to target=_blank to allow further reading of the document in a new tab?
I strongly prefer to avoid future Newspaper upgrade issues by NOT to modifying the original Newspaper files if possible. It would be great to just modify the td_flex_block_1 button behavior while in the page editor. I just can’t seem to make that work.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi,
To disable the option the Auto Loading edit with tagDiv Composer -> Show site wide settings => https://www.screencast.com/t/A9nO0Vy1
You can use the infinite load on the page if you set this on the last block on the homepage. For example, I have the Posts Loop 2 and I set on this the Infinite load => https://www.screencast.com/t/Udv7BsKb8J, if you have another like Flex Block you can set like this => https://www.screencast.com/t/nmJQKZmz
Hope this helps you!
Thank you!
Hello there!
We add each article in only one parent category but in several child categories that are not necessarily located under the same parent category.
We set as Primary Category, the one that suits as best, between the child categories.
We want to filter a block or a flex block in order to saw only the articles to have as primary category any of the child categories under a specific parent category. Is it possible?
For example, let’s say that we have:
“Parent-01” with Child Categories: “Child-01a”, “Child-01b”, “Child-01c” etc.
“Parent-02” with Child Categories: “Child-02a”, “Child-02b”, “Child-02c” etc.
“Parent-03” with Child Categories: “Child-03a”, “Child-03b”, “Child-03c” etc.
We upload articles by checking categories in the following way:
Categories: Parent-01, Child-01a, Child-01c, Child-02b, Child-03a
Primary Category: Child01a
We want to filter in a block, every article has as Primary Category one of the child categories “Child-01a”, “Child-01b”, “Child-01c” (under the same Parent-01 category), regardless of the additional child categories that may be included in this article, that aren’t located under the same Parent.
Thanks for your help
Hello,
You can apply the filter on the Big Grid Flex to choose which category display or not display. You can filter by ID what categories/sub-categories will appear => https://www.screencast.com/t/awQpLObuP and you can put the ID in multiple taxonomies filter for adding more categories to display => https://www.screencast.com/t/oGLvEGPuJPu5 -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6GMhwr3d and for to remove a category, add a ‘-’ symbol in front the ID category.
For more information, you can check this guide -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/big-grid-flex-settings/
Hope this helps you!
Thank you!
